Paul Watson rams fishing boats and spikes trees in logging forrests. This makes him a terrorist. That's scary enough. He is also a founder of Greenpeace and a board member of the Sierra Club. This is more frightening.

When ostensibly mainstream organizations embrace extremists, they can't rightly be thought of as "mainstream." In a frontpagemag.com article, "The Green Left's Favorite Terrorist," Watson is quoted as saying "earthworms are far more valuable than people." He exhorts, "Don't bring any more humans into being," and rationalizes his tree-spiking by opining of the logger-victims: "if they don't have any compassion for the future, I don't have any compassion for them."

Watson endorses and practices violence on behalf of a cause, arguing: "One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter." In Watson's case, every man's terrorist is every worm, hyena, and lobster's freedom fighter.
